<p>Humans have a keen sense of fear and of the dark. It's innate, inside our dna from our ancestors, and that's probably all it was. We can create monsters inside our head from the slightest bit of help in the real world, an ugly person, an image on a brand that upsets some portion of the mind. It's just the human condition. </p>

<p>We all, as children, learned our expressive behaviors of fear to courage from our innate knowledge of pain and danger and compared it to bliss. The act of eating and knowing that food does not fall out of the sky stimulates our anxiety or eagerness to survive and be safe. Everyones experiences are different of course but the act of eating is always necessary.

<p>We all, as children, learned our expressive behaviors of fear to courage from our innate knowledge of pain and danger and compared it to bliss. The act of eating and knowing that food does not fall out of the sky stimulates our anxiety or eagerness to survive and be safe. Everyones experiences are different of course but the act of eating is always necessary. Here we are in the twenty first century where our food comes mainly from a grocery store that separates the act of creating that food which to me is a way to feel connected to the earth and aware of ones necessity of action to produce that food. The disconnect of earth in families I feel is also an opening trend to fill in inadequate associations to life such as religioun.</p> Tumble, tumble little world

<p>I love your sense of wonder. Thanks for sharing. I wonder lot myself but always come back to the law of parsimony, the simplest explanations are always the best. I understand the powerful programming of parents/society who perpetuate lies about tooth fairies, Santa, the Easter Bunny and supernatural entities. We laugh most of these off as we get older and adults finally admit their dishonesty. I wonder, too, why only a few of us continue to question dogma and authority and won't accept…</p>

<p>Let's see...critical thinking?</p>
<p>perhaps emotional independence? - some of us don't need a dedicated soul who is dedicated to think of us, worry about us, make us all important and great and amazing. Many need to feel important, to feel that there is one person out there who thinks that we are absolutely special. Who understand us no matter what wrong we do. the constant need to be emotionality dependent on other and Gawd alflighty seem like a perfect…</p>

It's ok if I'm not special, I can live with that.</p>
